Eze accused President Tinubu of failing to deliver on his 2023 campaign promise to reform the power sector, describing the situation as a “total collapse” marked by persistent national grid failures and widespread darkness across the country.
ADC chieftain criticises Tinubu over power sector criticism came in a strongly worded statement on Monday, where he insisted that Nigerians are witnessing worsening electricity conditions despite substantial budgetary allocations over the past three years.
He argued that instead of making progress, the administration has resorted to shifting blame, which he described as an “excuse in futility” and an attempt to avoid accountability.
Eze recalled that during the election campaign, Tinubu had pledged to fix the power sector and reportedly challenged Nigerians not to vote for him if he failed to improve electricity supply.
He said the current reality contradicts those promises, adding that the situation has left electricity workers exposed to public frustration and insecurity as anger over blackouts grows nationwide.
ADC chieftain further slams the President’s reference to alleged flaws in previous power sector privatisation, insisting that such explanations cannot justify current failures.
He also warned against what he described as attempts to rewrite history, stating that Nigerians are increasingly aware of what he called governance shortcomings under the present administration.
Eze went further to call on the President to consider resignation if he is unable to resolve the worsening electricity challenges facing the country.
